On Jan 29, 2016, Xerox announced its plans to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies – a Document Technology company comprising its Document Technology and Document Outsourcing businesses and a BPO firm. The company expects to file its initial Form 10 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission this July, while it is looking forward to completing the entire separation process by the end of the year.

Xerox is focused on its strategic transformation program, which aims to deliver $2.4 billion in cumulative savings over a span of three years, including savings from ongoing and incremental productivity initiatives.

On the other hand, the Document Technology company, which delivered $11 billion in  revenues in 2015, will offer customers services that include document management and document outsourcing with superior technology, solutions and innovations.

Ursula Burns, the chairman and CEO of Xerox, will serve as the Chairman of the new Document Technology entity. Combining the expertise of Vemuri and Burns, Xerox is likely to achieve immense success going forward.

Headquartered in Norwalk, CT, Xerox has its business spread worldwide. It is a global corporation that sells business services and document technology products to businesses and governments of all sizes.

Xerox carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). A couple better-ranked stocks in the industry include ExamWorks Group, Inc. EXAM and Core-Mark Holding Company, Inc. CORE. Both stocks carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
